DEs MONIES, To-, Nov. Sup to mid
night election returns still continue to
come in slowly, but they show uniform
Democratic gains of about Is to pre-
cinct. There are over 1,SOO precincts
in the state, and a continuance of re-
turns as favorable to the Democrats as
those already received would elect An
derSOn, Democratic candidate for gov
ernOr, by 10000 majority. The re-
turns received are from all parts
of the state, including cOun-
try precincts, and scattering returns
from smaller precincts. The local con-
test here in DeS MGineS was the most
exciting for years, and has resulted in
the triumph of the Anti-ProhibitiOn
legislative ticket. supported by Demo-
Gratis and Independent Republicans, by
handsome majority. The Democrats
also elect their sheriff. The city of Des
MOineS gave a large majority against
the Prohibition candidates. Nothing
definite has been heard of the compile
ton OF the legislature, but there is no
doubt that both houses will be Repub-
lican by working majOrities.
REPORTS FROM PRINCIPAL POINTS
in Iowa show that the weather has been
fine to-day, and that pretty large vote
has been pOlled in the state. There has
been more scratching this year than in
any previous election for years, most of
which was done by the dissatisfied ele-
ment of the Republican party. A dis
patch from Iowa City states that ex-
Gov. KirkwOod voted for the Democratic
candidate for governor, and advices
from Cedar Rapids, Council Bluffs and
Sioux City announce heavy Repub-
lican vote cast for Anderson. The
same thing is known to be true here
No such interest has been manifested
for years as was shown IN the election in
Des MOineS to-day. For the first time
the cOlored vote was divided between
the two parties, the Democratic and In
| dependent legislative ticket getting
| nearly One-half of it. The returns will
be compared with the vote of last year
Oh secretary of state, when Jackson,
Republican, had 14,000 majority, On
account of scratched tickets the returns
will probably be slow in coming in.
DES MONIES, Nov. S.-Fourteen wards
| and townships in Polk county and city
of Des MOines gives a net Democratic
| gain of 25S. The legislative ticket is
close. One hundred and sixty precincts
in the state show net Democratic gain
| of 702. The same ratio of gain main
tanned in the rest of the state will cut
the Republican majority in the state
! down to 1000.

elect man. James Mccain, Democrat,
for sheriff, runs ahead of his ticket.
